Overview of MEI's Resilient Wide Data (RWD)

MEI, or the Medical Engineering Institute, based in Tsu City, Mie Prefecture, has reached a remarkable milestone: the size of usable secondary data from electronic health records (EHR) has exceeded 6 million. This growth follows the announcement of surpassing 5 million data points in March 2026. In collaboration with over 80 medical institutions, MEI has been steadily expanding its medical data platform, which is underpinned by a partnership established in 2023 with KDDI Corporation.

Expansion of Medical Data Collaboration

With KDDI, MEI has been developing a robust platform for accumulating and analyzing electronic health record data nationwide. The objective is to harness the power of this extensive data set to support various stakeholders, including pharmaceutical companies and academic institutions. MEI aims to expand this data pool to around 10 million by the end of the fiscal year 2026.

Key Features of MEI RWD

1. Comprehensive Outcome-Based EHR Data
MEI collaborates with over 80 medical institutions, primarily core hospitals, to collect EHR data that is grounded in real-world clinical practices. This data encompasses a wide range of information, accumulated through the insights garnered from their medical data warehouse system, CLISTA!

With this system, MEI has consolidated various data from disparate electronic health records and medical systems, ensuring a comprehensive insight into patient care. Detailed information—such as examination results, prescriptions, and procedures—can be analyzed over time, providing valuable insights into drug efficacy and proper usage evaluation.

2. Access to Recent Clinical Data
MEI maintains online connections with participating medical institutions, enabling it to offer data that is approximately one month old. This timely access to the latest clinical data is indispensable for supporting research within pharmaceutical companies and academia.

3. Integrated Analysis Leveraging Medical Insights and Data Science
MEI benefits from a team of experienced physicians and data scientists who collaborate to deliver in-depth analyses tailored to address client challenges. Their support covers various needs, from generating evidence from Real-World Data (RWD) to reviewing development protocols and understanding patient journeys, along with monitoring market changes post-launch.
